As it happens with every discussion touching on sufficiently sensitive skin ("offending" some people, countries, etc.). One can't imagine that an article trashing a former president of Y Combinator will survive well especially on HN where burying any discussion in the "flagged" category is absolutely trivial.

It doesn't mean the information in any of these articles is true or false, just that the mere existence of the discussion offends, so it's promptly pushed under the table through a voting system that is exceptionally ripe for abuse.
